I noticed you saying something on ticker and wondered . . . if you get a copy of the death certificate, you can get a reduced rate refund on your flight. Valis is very popular right now because a character was reading it on LOST. I don't know about your family, but in our family funerals have a definite up-side: all the perks of a family reunion without the pressure to buy gifts for holidays. Plus there's no pressure to have a good time so when it happens it's all a bonus. Some of my most pleasant visits with relatives happened at funerals, although we all seemed to feel a bit guilty.
